Please could it not be India just for a change! #ChampionsTrophy

I've said it before but for whatever reason the #skynews team is so superior to the BBC and others. They just seem to be so much 'on it' than many other journalists.

Surely 'what they got done' is not good English. Shouldn't it be 'what they did'? Or perhaps if needing to be precise - 'outline your five main achievements of last week' although that sounds ChatGpt-esque.

The problem I always have with those low calorie chocolate bars is I feel I need to eat a minimum three of them at once. Same with low calorie crisps.

Rather randomly saw Brie Larson on Saturday Kitchen who was really amusing. I know she is Captain Marvel but don't think I have ever seen her in anything. Might try out Electra at Duke of York's with her starring.

Can't believe The Brutalist is receiving awards. Such an overrated film. Leave at the interval is my advice. First half 3 stars, second half 2 stars.

It's Away Day time for The Audience Agency in Sheffield. Always great fun but we've had fewer of them since the pandemic. I will actually get to meet some colleagues for the first time in person even though we have been working together for years.

Am I allowed to say that I was disappointed by The Brutalist? I was expecting more about the architecture and design and I really hate all this 'mad genius' stuff. Good fun having an interval though and a good glass of wine helped me to get through the excesses of the second half.

Totally wonderful @bbc6music.bsky.social Huey Morgan Block Party today from Salvator Dragatto. Lot aof lovely 60s film scores. François de Roubaix anyone?

Discussion at #LGR2025 about cultural organisations’ use of social platforms: - Lots are abandoning X (for ethical, practical and audience reasons) - Many staying on Meta’s (while audiences are still on there) - A fair few are just starting with Bluesky, Mastodon etc (others just reducing social).

New job, new social media account! 👋 Excited to be starting a postdoc on this new project about children's play with AI toys, led by @drjennyg.bsky.social and me. 🤖 www.nurseryworld.co.uk/content/news...

David Lynch - oh my. What an absolute unique genius. A damn fine fellow.

Really enjoying Margaret Drabble - The Millstone at the moment. First book I've read by her. Influenced by a talk she gave at Cambridge Literary Festival in May. Just goes to show!

I caught the Dawn French stand up last night - I'm a big twat (or something like that). Absolutely brilliant (perhaps a little unexpectedly as not thinking of her as stand up).

I've said it before but I do really like the Today programme guest editors they have in Christmas week. It's so refreshing to have something different from the usual conveyor belt of news.

29th December always feels like that transition today between Christmas and normality.

I imposed a holiday WhatsApp ban – but would my friends and family respect it? | Poorna Bell www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... Lots of sympathy with this nice article but the thing that has changed in the last few years is the way people use WhatsApp for work. Difficult to get used to that.

Spent Christmas in South Derbyshire. It's only 100 miles from Cambridge but culturally like a different world in good and bad ways.

Out of the office - out of the office - out of the office. Yay! 🥳 Right so, Christmas then 🤔😅

Rather a strange day today as this should have been the Mill Road Winter Fair, Cambridge today but Storm Darragh meant we had to cancel it. We spent months planning for it but there was nothing we could do. For safety's sake it had to be cancelled. Onwards to 2025.

This feels like important research, now more than ever perhaps: do share/take part where relevant…

One of the best things about being on BlueSky is that haven't yet been invited to "shop like a billionaire" with Temu.

The names in songs feature on Chris Hawkins BBC Radio 6 Music is the funniest thing in the entire world. Every Wednesday from around 6.30am.
